Teague was one of three Timberwolves starters to hit or exceed the 20-point threshold, and he enters the All-Star break having hit the mark in two consecutive contests for the first time all season. The upcoming layoff comes with a bit of bad timing for the nine-year veteran, considering he's drained 61.2 percent of his 49 attempts over his last five games. Teague has shot at least 50.0 percent in seven of his last eight games overall, but given the high-usage profiles of his other first-unit teammates, his scoring contributions are bound to continue fluctuating throughout the balance of the season.

Teague was spectacular and efficient, scoring his 25 points on 15 shot attempts while committing just one turnover. He also played more minutes than anyone in the game besides teammate Andrew Wiggins, who saw 41 minutes despite struggling badly. With Wiggins being so inconsistent, Teague has essentially established himself as the team's third offensive option behind Jimmy Butler and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Teague has been frustrating to own, delivering inconsistency on a consistent basis. This is the kind of performance he should be putting up with more regularity, focusing more on distributing and defense than scoring. He has plenty of options around him and the team functions better when he is finding those players in their spots. He still remains a mid-round guard and does not appear to be losing his starting spot anytime soon, especially with the way coach Tom Thibedeau rotates his players.

Teague handed out a season high assist total, and it marked the 13th time through 46 appearances he has dished out 10-plus dimes in 2017-18. It was also Teague's ninth double-double of the season, so this was a nice bounce-back performance following Saturday's subpar stat line (five points, six dimes in 27 minutes) in a double-digit win over the Pelicans.
